The Ealing Paediatric Occupational Therapy Service is an integral part of the Ealing Service for Children with Additional Needs (ESCAN) which integrates different health, education and social services for children. The central base of the service is at Carmelita House near to Ealing Broadway. There is a high level of integration and collaboration between different health, education and social care services.
The service adopts a matrix staffing structure with 5 Clinical Specialist (Band 8a) and 7 Band 7 therapists who lead on different aspects of the service delivery. The service has been highly successful in getting funding from different agencies, with an establishment of 22 staff. Regular CPD programmes and supervision structure are in place.
Different clinical pathways and packages of care are developed for different care groups of children. All staff are encouraged to be involved or led different service development and clinical governance activities. The team is also very keen to deliver service based on research evidence and best practice guidelines. We are constantly reviewing and modifying the way we work.
